Definitions

  • separators are provided between the carriers, the separators serving two different purposes.
  • the separators provide a continuous surface completely without gaps, as the carriers are moved along a horizontal path.
  • the separators will slowly bend upwardly, pushing the articles back onto the carrier.
  • This employment of the separators between carriers also permits one to convey articles off of the conveyor onto a stationary or moving platform without the possibility of the articles falling back down the shaft.
  • an endless belt can be used to discharge articles on the continuous conveyor wherein the endless belt is narrower than the carriers so that, after the articles move onto a carrier, they can move out to the sides. This is possible since the carriers have upstanding sides which prevent articles from moving off of the carriers at the sides.
  • Such conveyors as have been used in the past having been suitable primarily for use of relatively large articles but the conveyor of the present invention is particularly adapted for moving small articles, although the articles can be of almost any size including metal cans, glass bottles or jars, plastic containers, boxes of almost any size, bags such as flour, sugar or the like, round containers or odd shapes such as square or triangular containers, suitcases and the like.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the carriers are articulated so that the carriers can bend around a shaft after discharging their contents and move in a vertical path so that the conveyor of the present invention can be made very compact.
  • the conveyor may be used in various combinations of vertical and horizontal paths so that it can be used to lower articles, to raise articles over an obstacle, to raise articles or to start at one level, move to another level and finally move to a third level which may be. lower or higher than the first level.
  • the conveyor of the present invention includes a plurality of carriers generally designated 10 and a series of separator elements generally designated 12 which are carried on two pairs of chains.
  • the first or outer pair of chains designated 14 and 16 are attached to the rear of a carrier by the cross member 18 while a second or inner pair of chains designated 20 and 22 carry the front end of the carrier.
  • Separator elements 12 are also connected between the second chains 20 and 22.
  • the first set of chains are trained around a first set of sprockets such as 24,24A, 26, 26A, 27A and 28A while the second set of chains is trained around a second set of sprockets such as 30, 30A, 32, 34 and 36.
  • sprockets for the two chains can be on the same shaft.
  • sprockets 34 and 27 are affixed to the shaft 40 which is driven from a motor or other prime mover 42.
  • sprockets 28A and 36 are mounted on shaft 44.
  • the separator elements 12 are mounted between chains 20 and 22 in the forward direction of travel. Three such elements are illustrated, although a fewer or larger number could be employed.
  • the leading edge of the carrier elements 10 are mounted between separator elements 12 and connected to the chains 20 and 22.
  • the trailing edge of each carrier is mounted on cross bar 18, later described in detail.
  • the sprockets for the two chains are on a horizontal plane.
  • sprockets 24 and 30 occupy the same horizontal plane as do sprockets 26, 32, 34 and 27.
  • the sprockets for the two chains are separated by the length of a carrier.
  • sprockets 24 and 30 are separated in a horizontal dimension by the length of a carrier 10 as are the sprockets 26 and 32.
  • the separator bars which were generally designated as 12 are merely bars which extend from one side to the other typified (see Fig. 4) by bar 46 mounted on shaft 48, the two ends of the shaft being attached to the the chains 20 and 22. In the embodiment illustrated, three of the separator bars have been employed but it will be obvious that a fewer or larger number could be used.
  • the carrier members themselves which have been generally designated as 10 are composed of a special leaf-type chain which is adapted to be bent in one direction and not the other.
  • the carrier when supported from the ends, will support a load placed in the middle, yet if an upward force is provided at the middle, it will bend freely.
  • This structure is best seen in Figs. 3, 4 and 6 where a typical cross member 50 has a stair step configuration which interlocks with adjoining members 52 and 54.
  • Each of the members is mounted on two adjacent shafts, typical shafts being designated 56, 58, and 60.
  • Each shaft interlocks two adjacent cross members so that shaft 56 passes through both the member 52 and the member 50.
  • the shaft 58 passes through the member 50 as well as 54.
  • the cross members are relieved as at 62 and 64. This provides a flexible structure so that the pallet can bend in an upward direction.
  • interlocking side members are employed. These upstanding side members interlock in such a manner that the pallet will support a load when supported at the ends but will bend freely in the opposite direction.
  • the side member 66 bridges shafts 56 and 58 while member 68 bridges shafts 58 and 60.
  • Each of the side members thus embraces two adjacent shafts and each shaft has two side members there on in staggered relationship.
  • the side members in their interlocking relationship allow what is essentially a chain to flex freely in one dimension and become rigid in the other dimension.
  • the leading edge of the carrier 10 is affixed to shaft 70 which in turn is attached at opposite ends to the chains 20 and 22.
  • the trailing edge of the carrier 10 is attached to a shaft 72 which is connected to a cross member 18.
  • the members 18 have U-shaped ends 19 enabling the member to pass over the inner sprockets, e.g. 32.
  • Members 18 are connected to two adjacent links in the drive chains 14 and 16 for additional strength.
  • the separator element provides an effective front wall so that articles will not move off.
  • the side members such as 66, which prevent the chain from flexing in the opposite direction, also serve as effective side barriers to hold articles onto the conveyor.
  • One of the features of the present invention is that it is easy to provide an unloading mechanism.
  • a carrier 80 is shown discharging onto a transfer mechanism 82. As the carrier bends, the goods are transferred onto the conveyor 82.
  • a photo-optical pair is provided by the light source 84 and pickup 86 and, when the light path is interrupted by the side members from the carrier, the timer and control actuate the release mechanism 88. Between carriers the light path is reestablished so that the control mechanism 88 cuts off the flow of material being loaded onto the carrier.
